David White - Wiltshire
David and his son Edward farm their 554ha farm with an inspiring ethos of working with nature. The farm is predominantly arable, managed without insecticides, and corn bunting, lapwing, turtle dove and yellow wagtail all flourish.
Areas of chalk downland are managed by native cattle, and the farm supports dotted bee-fly, brown hare and a range of butterflies and rare arable plants such as Venus’s-looking-glass. Narrow-fruited cornsalad has also recently been discovered on the farm.
David and Edward also look after an additional 1000ha of arable for other local farmers, all of whom have also joined agri-environment schemes.
In his spare time, David is a keen wildlife photographer and you can see some of his spectacular images on his website.
